Mercury Sys Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Mercury Systems (NASDAQ: MRCY) has introduced new digital signal processing products: the DRF2270 system-on-module (SOM) and DRF5270 3U SOSA-aligned OpenVPX board, powered by Altera's Agilex 9 Direct RF FPGA chips. The DRF2270 is an 8-channel SOM that converts signals at 64 gigasamples per second, featuring Altera's AGRW027 FPGA with 47% more logic elements and 34% more memory than previous generations.

These products directly digitize radio frequency signals at the antenna, eliminating analog signal down conversion stages. This approach reduces size, weight, power, cost, and latency, benefiting radar, communications, electronic warfare, SIGINT, and industrial applications. The technology comes with Navigator® Board Support Package and FPGA Design Kit for custom IP development.
